FY14030A - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FY14030A - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a dependable solution to safeguard your electrical system, the FY14030A 30 Amp single-pole molded-case circuit breaker from Schneider Electric delivers real value. Engineered to respond accurately to both sustained overloads and instant-short-circuit events, this breaker brings outstanding protection to residential, commercial or light-industrial applications. With a 277 V rating and a high fault-interrupt capability, it steps in where system safety is non-negotiable—offering confident performance in panelboards and branch-circuit installations alike.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Reacts to over-current via both the thermal (overload) and magnetic (short-circuit) elements, giving you broad-spectrum protection.
• High interrupting capacity: With the ability to interrupt current up to 18 kA (at 277 V) the breaker is built for demanding fault-conditions.
• Compact form factor: At just 6.4″ × 1.5″ × 4.13″ (H × W × D) it fits easily into crowded panel spaces without requiring major rewiring.
• I-Line plug-in mounting: Designed for I-Line bus systems to simplify installation and expand flexibility for system upgrades or expansions.
